Transparency data: Traffic Signal Obsolescence Grant and Green Light Fund allocations

In October 2023, the government’s Plan for drivers announced measures to fund traffic management systems maintenance and upgrading by local authorities, including the:

• Traffic Signal Obsolescence Grant (TSOG) – a £30 million fund to provide better traffic lights
• Green Light Fund (GLF) – a £20 million fund to provide smarter traffic lights

Funding for these measures totals £50 million, of which £10 million will be distributed automatically to all eligible English local highway authorities using the Integrated Transport Block allocation grant formula.

The remaining £40 million will be awarded, in March 2024, to combined authorities and local highway authorities following a competition process held in autumn 2023.
